Zisonika Yoane 3:1-36
3 Mu dingumba di bafalisi, muba dibakala dimueka baba tedilanga Nikodemi, wuba mfumu yi basi yuda.
2 Va builu nandi wuyenda kuidi Yesu ayi wunkamba: “Rabi, tuzebi ti ngie Nzambi wuku fila muingi wuba nlongisi, kibila vasi ko mutu wulenda vanga mangitukulu mo ngie wumvanganga, boti Nzambi kasi ko yandi.”
3 Yesu wumvutudila: “Yiku kamba mu bukiedika ti: Boti mutu kasimbutuka ko mbutukulu yimona, kalendi mona ko Kintinu ki Nzambi.”
4 Nikodemi wunyuvula: “Buidi mutu weka nkulutu kalenda bue butukila? Bukiedika ti nandi kalenda bue kota mu kivumu ki mam’andi, muingi kubue butuka khumbu yinkaka?”
5 Yesu wumvutudila: “Yiku kamba mu bukiedika ti: Boti mutu kasimbotimina* ko mu nlangu ayi mu phevi yinlongo, kalendi kota ko mu Kintinu ki Nzambi.
6 Kioso kua kimbutukila mu nsuni, kidi ki kinsuni, ayi kioso kimbutukila mu phevi, kidi ki phevi.
7 Diawu bika kukuituka kibila yima tuba ti: Benu lufueti butuka mbutukulu yimona.
8 Phemu yimvevubukanga yoso khonzu yawu yitidi, ayi tunkuwanga biyoko biandi, vayi tuzabanga ko kuidi yimfuminanga ayi kuidi yinkuendanga. Buawu mvandi bumbelanga mutu wumbutuka mu kiphevi.”
9 Bosi Nikodemi wunyuvula: “Buidi mambu amomo malenda monikina?”
10 Yesu wumvutudila: “Ngie widi nlongisi ku Isaeli, buabu buidi wunkhambu zabila mambu amomo?
11 Yiku kamba mu bukiedika ti: Befu tuntubanga mambu tuzebi ayi tumvananga kimbangi mambu tumona, vayi benu lukikininanga ko mu kimbangi tumvananga.
12 Minu yibe lukamba mambu ma ntoto, vayi kheti bobo luisinkikinina ko, buabu buidi lunkuiza kikinina minu ku lukamba mambu ma diyilu?
13 Kubotula kuandi amomo, vasi ko mutu mana maka ku diyilu, kubika kuandi Muana Mutu no wukuluka ku diyilu.
14 Dedi bo Mose kazengidikila nyoka ku thandu, buawu mvandi bala zengidikila Muana Mutu,
15 muingi baboso ba kunkikinina, babaka luzingu lu mvu ka mvu.
16 “Kibila Nzambi wuzola batu mu nza, diawu kavanina Muan’andi wumueka to, muingi batu boso ba kunlekila kiminu, babika kubungu, vayi babaka luzingu lu mvu ka mvu.
17 Nzambi kasa fila ko Muana mu nza, muingi kiza fundisa batu mu nza, vayi muingi bavuka mu nzil’andi.
18 Woso mutu wu kunlekila kiminu, kalasa fundusu ko. Vayi woso wukhambu kunlekila kiminu, mafundusu, kibila kasa lekila ko kiminu mu dizina di Muana wumueka to wu Nzambi.
19 Amama, mawu mambu bala fundisila batu mu nza: kiezila kiyiza mu nza, vayi batu bazola kitombi, kubika kuandi kiezila, kibila mavanga mawu maba mambi.
20 Kibila mutu wumvanganga mambu mambi, wunlendanga kiezila ayi nandi kafikamanga ko vadi kiezila, muingi mavanga mandi mabika kumonika.
21 Vayi no wumvanganga mambu ma kiedika, wumfikamanga vadi kiezila, muingi bamona buboti ti mavanga mandi, madi nguizani na luzolo lu Nzambi.”
22 Bosi, Yesu na minlandikini miandi bayenda mu mala mafikama ma divula di Yuda; nandi wuviokisa yawu kuna mua thangu ayi waba botikanga batu.
23 Vayi, Yoane mvandi waba botika batu ku Enom, kibuangu kiba kifikama ku Salim, kibila nlangu wuwombo wuba kuna. Diawu batu baba kuendilanga kuidi nandi, ayi nandi waba kuba botikanga.
24 Mu thangu beni, buna Yoane bantudidiabu ko mu buloku.
25 Bosi minlandikini mi Yoane baba findana ziphaka na musi yuda, mu matedi kuyidiodisa.
26 Minlandikini beni bayenda kue kamba Yoane: “Rabi, tala dibakala no wubedi yaku ku disimu dinkaka di muila wu Yolidani, no ngie wutela kimbangi, widi mu kubotika batu. Ayi batu boso badi mu kukuenda kuidi nandi.”
27 Yoane wuvutudila, mu kutuba: “Mutu kalendi baka ko ni kiuma, boti Nzambi kasa mvana ko kiawu.
28 Benu veka muidi zimbangi ti minu yituba: ‘Minu yisi ko Klistu, vayi bamfila va ntual’andi.’
29 Dibakala di dikuela, nandi wuvuidi nkietu wu dikuela. Vayi, bo nkundi wu dibakala di dikuela kadi va khonzu’andi, ayi ka kunkuwa, nandi wumbanga beni mu mayangi, mu kibila ki mambu dibakala di dikuela kantuba. Diawu mayangi mami, meka maduka.
30 Kisalu kiandi, kifueti tatamana kubuelama, vayi kisalu kiama, kifueti dekuka.”
31 Mutu no wufumina ku diyilu, nandi lutidi kena batu boso, vayi mutu wubasikila va ntoto, wuntubanga mambu ma ntoto. No wubasikila ku diyilu, lutidi batu boso.
32 Nandi wumvana kimbangi matedi mambu kamona ayi kayuwa, vayi ni mutu kakikininanga ko mu kimbangi beni.
33 Woso mutu wunkikinina kimbangi kiandi, buna wunkikinina ti Nzambi widi wukiedika.
34 Mutu Nzambi kafila, wuntubanga mambu ma Nzambi, kibila Nzambi wumvananga phevi mu kitesu kifuana.
35 Tata wunzolanga Muana, ayi wuyekula biuma bioso mu mioko miandi.
36 Woso wunlekila kiminu mu Muana, wala baka luzingu lu mvu ka mvu. Vayi no wukhambu tumukina Muana, kalasa baka ko luzingu beni, vayi nganzi yi Nzambi yala tatamana mu nandi.
